Chennai: A day after the Madras High Court on Friday questioned the Tamilnadu government on the delay in taking action against the Special Director General of Police (DGP) accused of sexually harassing a woman IPS officer, he today appeared before the CB-CID team probing the case.
According to sources, the senior officer appeared before the investigation team at CB-CID office in the city and answered to their questions.
On Friday, taking suo moto cognizance of the issue, Justice N Anand Venkatesh said the Special DGP has not been suspended, but the Superintendent of Police who allegedly waylaid the officer (to prevent her from filing a complaint) has been suspended.
“The SP was only an arrow, the Special DGP was the bow. But the arrow has been suspended, not the bow. Is the Special DGP so powerful that the State cannot suspend him,” the Judge asked the State public prosecutor A Natarajan and also sought a status report on the investigation by 16 March.
